Sleepless in Seattle

Thursday, January 17, 2013

Ok, I'm not in Seattle but I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep well Sunday night but made it thru the day and then didn't sleep well Tuesday night either. By Wednesday morning, I was nearly in tears. I'm too tired to breathe. Well, not that tired but I think you know what I mean.

So yesterday, I mulled over what I wanted to do at lunch to work on some of my goals. I decided to take Wednesday as my day off. I was overly tired, which could lead to injuries that I didn't need and was fighting Hungry. You remember him?

He always tries to convince me that if I eat something (whatever he is pushing at the moment) then I'll feel better. Very rarely in my life has eating had anything to do with how I feel if you don't count the feeling of "overly full". I had to work hard to resist. In doing so, I was able to keep those calories in check, better than I have all week. Yeah for me. Boo for Hungry.

Burn 325/day - Intentionally choosing to take a day off. I needed it. Yeah for taking care of me!

Cut calories 300/day - in range.

Walk 30 min/day - Intentionally choosing to take a day off. I needed it. Yeah for taking care of me!

Cardio 30 min/day - Intentionally choosing to take a day off. I needed it. Yeah for taking care of me!

I slept well last night even tho I got up once, I was able to go right back to sleep. I'm already making plans to go to the mall at lunch so I won't have to freeze. And I'm still watching out for Hungry's sneaky tricks.

Good way to plan out things to your advantage. Glad you slept a bit better.Yes, I love the snow, since we don't get it very often.Sure miss when I was a kid and the ponds would freeze over and we would have big drifts, everywhere.

Good for you for recognizing the need to take care of yourself. Getting run down makes it harder to get back up. I've noticed I sleep less well as the week goes along, so I need to figure out a way to improve on that.
